I liked the trails and particles, cant made in time for my game, and the music

I think in a shooter the shoot sfx its a must, it adds so much to the game feeling, but surely was a time thing, congratz

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, ill try to make it in time to add sounds next time, the game lacks it a lot

Hi, nice effort.

Some of the graphical effects are really nice and I enjoyed the chip tune music.

I would like the background to scroll a bit to give more of a sense of movement - at first I thought I would be able to move in any direction and was confused by the lack of rotation and then asteroids came at me from the side which I thought was unfair - I couldn't shoot them! I also echo what others say about the connection to the theme being quite weak.

Keep on learning and thanks for the fun. :-)

Just rated your game! Love the menu and your trail effect. Check out my game if you feel like. Cheers. 

Developer

Thank you! Sure:)

I'm really impressed with the art here for the ships. The meteors are a little out of place but it was visually appealing. The gameplay is rather basic and the theme isn't very strong with this. I also would've liked to been able to chose when I shoot so I can save those ships which drop the blue orbs. The movement felt good though and I overall enjoyed the game.

Developer

Thanks!

The movement and swooshing trail that follows you are great! It a pretty fun arcade game, we made something similar. Great minds think alike! Great work!

Thanks a lot! :)

Not a great menu, but thats minor stuff. I really like the player sprite, but the asteroids looks a bit out of place in comparison to the player. And the controls are soooo satisfying it's unbelievable.

edit: great job with the music.

Developer

Thank you a lot! I'll keep an eye for those in the future! :)

I wish the game incorporated the theme in a more creative way, not just giving more score when you have low hp

Also, asteroids spawning offscreen is not really fair, you should have given some proper warning signs for that

But anyways, nice job on graphics and controls :)

Developer

Thank you for your comment:) I 100% agree with me not fitting my game into the theme well, it isnt too creative. Ill try to keep an eye on the fairness of the game next time im making a game, thank you for letting me know!
